Kushner's $2 Billion Mystery, Epstein Conspiracies & the Virus That Shaped Human Intelligence | TMI Ep 471 · The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan

• 0:19
  Hello. Good morning. Happy Tuesday, October 27th,
• 0:22
  2026 on Manila Chan. That'd be Ted Raul. You're
• 0:25
  tuned in to the Ted Manila Information Show,
• 0:28
  TMI show for short, because we bring you way
• 0:30
  too much information. Today, we have a couple
• 0:33
  of hot topics, Ted. I'm sure you perused the
• 0:37
  rundown for today. I did. And we're going to
• 0:41
  talk a lot about Russia, Russia, Russia, because,
• 0:44
  you know, it's election time. So you got to...
• 0:47
  You got to talk about Russia, because that's
• 0:49
  all Washington talks about whenever it's election
• 0:52
  time, it seems. How coincidental. How coincidental.
• 0:56
  While we were out last week, a new book dropped
• 1:02
  that says that basically Russia invented the
• 1:07
  whole Jeffrey Epstein thing. Vladimir Putin controlling
• 1:12
  Epstein. Yes. Totally a thing. Totally a thing
• 1:18
  Also, we'll discuss Trump's son -in -law Jared
• 1:23
  Kushner with an alleged phone hack by the Russians
• 1:27
  and But maybe maybe and of allegedly two billion
• 1:32
  dollars in Saudi and Emirati and other Gulf nation
• 1:37
  funding Could be Ted could be could be And also
• 1:45
  this one, I think we'll get pushback from Robbie
• 1:47
  on this one, but apparently. Robbie who's ever
• 1:51
  heard of such a thing? An ancient virus. Apparently
• 1:56
  helped create the current human brain as we know
• 2:00
  it today. A virus going back millions and millions
• 2:04
  of years. And the reason I say Robbie is going
• 2:06
  to push back is because you know he says Earth
• 2:09
  is only I don't know how many thousands Robbie.
• 2:12
  How many thousands of years? 6 ,000 and change,
• 2:15
  right? Yes, Ravi says yes. And last but not least,
• 2:20
  Ted, we got to talk about Airbnb. You're a big,
• 2:23
  big, big traveler. I used to be, I guess maybe
• 2:25
  I'm not right now because my kids are little,
• 2:28
  but I used to be a big traveler too, but Airbnb
• 2:31
  has changed some rules for folks who are the
• 2:36
  hosts of Airbnbs. Apparently, you don't get free
• 2:39
  labor. out of us who rent anymore. Yeah. So we'll
• 2:46
  tell you what those rule changes are as you get
• 2:48
  ready for holiday travel. So I think that's pretty
• 2:51
  cool news. So we'll we'll jump into all of those.
• 2:55
  Any housekeeping, Robbie, anything we got to
• 2:56
  do? Nope. All right. Let's hop to it. All right.
• 3:06
  This one. Oh, I got to put this up because I
• 3:08
  want I want everyone I want everyone to see this
• 3:11
  dude, Ted. I feel like I've heard his name before,
• 3:16
  a guy called David Riboy. Have you ever heard
• 3:18
  of him? No, I think I would remember the, just
• 3:22
  like the, it's an unusual name. Very unusual.
• 3:25
  I feel like I've heard his name, but I never
• 3:28
  connected. It's memory is a funny thing. And
• 3:31
  it's kind of like, you, sometimes you're like,
• 3:35
  I know I didn't hear about this because I would
• 3:38
  have remembered this. It's the kind of thing
• 3:41
  I would have remembered. It's sort of like when
• 3:43
  someone says, oh, but Ted, you said and I'm like,
• 3:46
  no, I know I wouldn't have said that because
• 3:48
  I don't ever think anything like that. Yeah.
• 3:52
  So this guy. So here's his book. We're not obviously
• 3:54
  not promoting his book because it sounds like
• 3:57
  it would be. I have to say, I love the art on
• 3:59
  this book cover. I do like that. I mean, it's
• 4:01
  like very like cool and like 1960s like abstract.
• 4:06
  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was like whoever did the
• 4:09
  cover deserves an award. It's cool. Yeah, it's
• 4:11
  a very good. It's a good cover And good color
• 4:15
  good colors, although, you know, is that an excerpt
• 4:18
  from the atlantic or Where well that you're showing
• 4:22
  No, this is on his website on dave boy .com All
• 4:29
  right, that's the book. So he's like he's out
• 4:32
  there obviously pushing his book. Um, dave rubin
• 4:36
  He's he's showing comments from people like Dave
• 4:38
  Rubin and also So I'm gonna let him say it in
• 4:43
  his own words in a minute here But obviously
• 4:46
  he got Ben Shapiro my favorite. I mean obviously
• 4:50
  such a good person Obviously you want Ben Shapiro
• 4:56
  to review your book and tout what a great guy
• 4:59
  you are because Feel like if you're if you wake
• 5:04
  up every day and you don't hear from Ben Shapiro
• 5:08
  Your day is better than it might otherwise have
• 5:11
  been Well, I'm sorry. I'm gonna push I'm gonna
• 5:15
  push some Dave Raboi and Ben Shapiro on everybody
• 5:18
  this morning But first let me just let me just
• 5:21
  read Kind of the summary and then I'll let you
• 5:24
  guys hear what Dave Raboi says about his own
• 5:27
  book now for the YouTube sensors This is okay
• 5:31
  for me to show Because this is on Dave Reboy's
• 5:35
  own website this video. It's an ad It's a pro.
• 5:39
  It's an ad for it's hosted on his own website
• 5:42
  Which is open for anybody to go to Dave Reboy
• 5:46
  calm you can see the video. This is on We didn't
• 5:53
  edit but let me let me just let me give you guys
• 5:56
  a quick summary so in his book the Epstein conspiracy
• 6:00
  Author Dave Raboi argues that Russia orchestrated
• 6:04
  a sophisticated disinformation campaign promoting
• 6:07
  the claim that Jeffrey Epstein operated a sexual
• 6:11
  blackmail network for Israeli intelligence. According
• 6:14
  to Raboi, this narrative originated with a discredited
• 6:18
  source before spreading through Russian state
• 6:21
  media, influential commentators, and major American
• 6:25
  podcasts. He's talking about, in this reference
• 6:27
  you'll see in his video, he's talking about like...
• 6:29
  Candice Owens and Tucker Carlson, you know anybody
• 6:33
  that's kind of populist that's he shows their
• 6:36
  picture. So Raboi contends that Moscow deliberately
• 6:40
  exploited So ridiculous that Moscow deliberated
• 6:47
  deliberately exploited anti -semitic conspiracy
• 6:50
  theories to undermine American institutions to
• 6:54
  weaken US Israeli relations and convince Americans
• 6:58
  that their government serves foreign interests.
• 7:02
  Drawing on Russian political theorist Alexander
• 7:04
  Dugan, Raboi argues that these operations constitute
• 7:08
  foreign attacks requiring an aggressive national
• 7:12
  security response. Now, so here's this next part
• 7:15
  is my rebuke because as soon as I read and saw
• 7:18
  this, I was like, this is I can't believe like
• 7:20
  somebody published this guy. So at what point
• 7:23
  does blaming Russia for virtually every Troubling
• 7:28
  American political development becomes when does
• 7:32
  it become its own conspiracy theory? Right like
• 7:34
  it's got to be conspiracy theory stuff at this
• 7:37
  point, right? So Russia undoubtedly Conducts
• 7:40
  information warfare every country does But the
• 7:43
  leap from Russian media Ted that's counting us
• 7:47
  because we were all you know Russia Russia Russia
• 7:51
  media Amplifying a narrative to Moscow, actually
• 7:55
  manufacturing it requires compelling evidence.
• 7:58
  Correlation, ideological alignment, and geopolitical
• 8:02
  convenience do not establish authorship. Americans
• 8:07
  have legitimate reasons to question Epstein's
• 8:09
  powerful connections. The government's handling
• 8:12
  of these crimes, and we know they're crimes,
• 8:15
  is convicted on them. Hello? and the extraordinary
• 8:19
  secrecy surrounding his activities. Those questions
• 8:22
  deserve scrutiny without automatically being
• 8:24
  dismissed as Kremlin propaganda. Nor does questioning
• 8:28
  American foreign policy toward Israel necessarily
• 8:31
  constitute anti -Semitism. So stop conflating
• 8:34
  the two. Perhaps the greatest danger of perpetually
• 8:39
  invoking the Russian boogeyman is that it discourages
• 8:43
  Americans from examining their own institutions.
• 8:48
  Sometimes America's problems are made in America,
• 8:51
  everybody, and blaming Moscow should never be
• 8:55
  substitute for demanding answers at home. I would
• 8:59
  say that's all fair points, right? But now listen
• 9:04
  to Dude talking about his own book. You've heard
• 9:10
  it everywhere on social media and on podcasts
• 9:13
  that Jeffrey Epstein worked for Mossad, running
• 9:15
  a decades -long sexual blackmail operation to
• 9:18
  trap and control American leaders on behalf of
• 9:20
  Israel. The mystery of his staggering wealth,
• 9:23
  his private island, and his suspicious death
• 9:25
  sent millions of Americans looking for a motive
• 9:28
  for Epstein's crimes. This one seemed to explain
• 9:30
  the dark forces supposedly controlling their
• 9:33
  country. Only it's not true. I'm David Raboi.
• 9:36
  My new book, The Epstein Conspiracy, follows
• 9:39
  this lie through books, Russian state media,
• 9:42
  and some of America's biggest podcasts. The whole
• 9:44
  story rests on one man, Ari Ben Menasha, a serial
• 9:48
  fabricator, paid by warlords and Russia -linked
• 9:51
  regimes to manufacture fake intelligence against
• 9:53
  their enemies. And here's the craziest part.
• 9:56
  He's done the same thing before. In 1991, he
• 9:59
  invented the story that media baron Robert Maxwell
• 10:02
  was also a Mossad spy. He spent decades feeding
• 10:05
  that story into books until people accepted it
• 10:08
  as history. Then, just weeks after Epstein's
• 10:11
  death, he claimed the same about Epstein and
• 10:13
  offered no evidence. His story from 30 years
• 10:16
  ago became the supposed proof of his new one.
• 10:20
  So the same man ran the same information operation
• 10:22
  twice, and much of the world bought it. It was
• 10:25
  only possible through source laundering, where
• 10:28
  people hear the same allegation in different
• 10:30
  places and mistake repetition for independent
• 10:32
  confirmation. The forensic trail points straight
• 10:35
  to Moscow. Weaponizing the biggest story in the
• 10:38
  world was a state -level information operation
• 10:40
  designed to fracture America from within. We've
• 10:43
  already seen a historic rise in anti -Semitic
• 10:46
  violence in America, but the real prize for Moscow
• 10:48
  goes far beyond any military alliance in the
• 10:51
  Middle East, beyond Israel or even Jews. It targets
• 10:54
  America's capacity to govern itself, and the
• 10:57
  damage is already visible. Conspiracy theories
• 11:00
  break brains. When millions are taken in, they
• 11:03
  can no longer think clearly or make decisions
• 11:05
  based on reality for themselves or for their
• 11:08
  country. The intended result? An America consumed
• 11:11
  by the hunt for a phantom enemy and defenseless
• 11:14
  against a real one. The Epstein conspiracy. How
• 11:17
  Russia turned a lie about Jeffrey Epstein into
• 11:20
  a weapon against America, Israel, and Jews. Out
• 11:23
  now. So Ted, other than the great cover and obviously
• 11:32
  the great editing, that was done for his video
• 11:35
  launch. Because I do think stylistically, it
• 11:38
  looks good, whatever. By the way, I'm sorry to
• 11:42
  interrupt, Medilla. But you know, I looked it
• 11:44
  up while this was playing. It's self -published.
• 11:49
  He didn't get a publisher to publish this. Oh,
• 11:52
  good. So he did all this on his own. There's
• 11:57
  nothing wrong with self -publishing. My next
• 11:58
  cartoon book comes out shortly, and it's self
• 12:01
  -published. I was just going to be mad if somebody
• 12:05
  gave him a book deal for this garbage. I'm not
• 12:08
  surprised. That didn't happen, but he obviously
• 12:10
  spent some money in, you know, in terms of the
• 12:12
  promotion and the packaging. Oh, yeah. It looks
• 12:15
  great. It looks great. One thing about the Maxwell
• 12:18
  connection he was trying to do, y 'all fact check
• 12:20
  me on this. Maxwell is buried on the Mount of
• 12:24
  Olives, which only happens to heroes of the Israeli
• 12:29
  state. So to imply that he was not a massage
• 12:44
  agent, and he just happened to fall over, fall
• 12:47
  off his yacht and naked and drowned, just was
• 12:51
  a quickie dink. And then his daughter was directly
• 12:53
  connected. Right. Yeah, that's left out. Presumably
• 12:57
  that's in the book, I hope. He has to address
• 13:00
  that. The gasoline aspect is, you know, hello.
• 13:04
  Right. Like, how is this guy? As everyone in
• 13:08
  the chats are saying like this guy is straight
• 13:10
  -up gaslighting everybody to our to be honest
• 13:13
  here I never bought in completely. I'm not opposed
• 13:16
  to it I'm and I'm agnostic on the question of
• 13:20
  whether Epstein was running a honeypot operation
• 13:22
  in order to lure Lurian influential people on
• 13:27
  behalf. I mean he was but on behalf of the Israeli
• 13:32
  government, right? It could be I mean, I believe
• 13:34
  it's for that it could have just been personal
• 13:35
  could be for him. Yeah Believe it could be for
• 13:38
  him. I don't think there's really solid evidence
• 13:40
  that I've seen for the Mossad aspect here But
• 13:44
  him, but yeah, obviously he had connections and
• 13:47
  and tendrils going I think he's a he's a hustler
• 13:51
  right or he was a hustler. He knew everyone He
• 13:53
  knew everyone and you know, like my question
• 13:56
  is how did Epstein? Get his start like teaching
• 14:01
  at that that that luxury private school right
• 14:06
  right yeah there's a lot of things like that
• 14:08
  where it's like obviously yeah he had connections
• 14:10
  and he had connections to begin with nobody really
• 14:12
  knows exactly nobody's really drawn that tree
• 14:15
  of like exactly how did this happen how did that
• 14:17
  happen how did right but it doesn't necessarily
• 14:20
  mean it's it's musaad it i mean for all we know
• 14:23
  he could have could have been i don't know an
• 14:25
  emirati agent it could have been a saudi what
• 14:27
  he what's so interesting though is that but i
• 14:29
  think he's casting doubt on a sketchy theory
• 14:34
  about Epstein being a Mossad agent. And in so
• 14:38
  doing, it's just spitting an alternative theory
• 14:41
  that actually the boogeyman is Vladimir Putin.
• 14:45
  And like you said in your rebuke, Manila, certainly
• 14:49
  Russia is involved in information warfare. It
• 14:52
  has to be. Everybody is. Everybody does it. Right.
• 14:56
  Now, the thing is, though, this was not a look,
• 15:01
  this was not a Russian operation. to make Americans
• 15:05
  lose faith in their government. Okay. That's
• 15:08
  not what happened here. Yeah. Listen, I think
• 15:12
  to say that he's a massage agent, I don't think
• 15:15
  that's accurate. I think that he was a freelance
• 15:17
  agent that was hired by multiple intelligence
• 15:20
  agencies. I think that an asset would be more
• 15:23
  accurate. Yeah. And, and, and one of the things
• 15:27
  just I'll go away with this is illegal. technically
• 15:30
  for the United States to spy on its own citizens.
• 15:33
  So back in the day, they would hire the Brits
• 15:34
  to do it for them. Is that why they're not breaking
• 15:36
  the law? So to say that - That's true. Outsourcing.
• 15:40
  Of course. And that's what Epstein was. So you
• 15:44
  have him, you have the fact that his girlfriend,
• 15:47
  his madam, her dad is buried in the Israeli Arlington.
• 15:51
  Didn't apply. Yeah. Oh, he had no connection
• 15:54
  to the Jewish state. Pissed on my back and told
• 15:56
  me it's raining. uh no i know i know that's all
• 15:59
  this is it's done so the maxwell stuff is well
• 16:02
  established i know this guy that's what drives
• 16:05
  me nuts is he's sitting here saying it with a
• 16:08
  straight face to us right well and basically
• 16:11
  it's this whole thing well you know it's a part
• 16:12
  of russia this is kind of like designist denial
• 16:15
  right like in other words um you know we're constantly
• 16:19
  being told that we should not think that if we
• 16:23
  say that israel has disproportionate influence
• 16:26
  on US politics, but that's an anti -Semitic trope.
• 16:31
  Now, the fact is that no country, you know, people
• 16:34
  are like, well, why do you pick on Israel? The
• 16:36
  reason that we pick on Israel is simple. It's
• 16:39
  the number one recipient of us military and foreign
• 16:43
  aid and has been it's not like just this year
• 16:46
  or that last year It has been for decades. Yeah
• 16:50
  ever since the camp david accords, right and
• 16:52
  before that So the point is we send more money
• 16:55
  to israel this tiny little country We're not
• 16:57
  even pro -rating it like by population, right?
• 17:00
  Like if we did it would be ridiculously off the
• 17:03
  charts because it's a minute little country,
• 17:04
  but we send them more money than we send to all
• 17:08
  other countries, right? So therefore, we should
• 17:11
  be more interested in what they do and what happens
• 17:14
  over there. And also, because they are a welfare
• 17:19
  queen state, they have to have a lobbying, basically
• 17:26
  like they need APAC to be whispering sweet nothings
• 17:30
  and putting money in the right pockets to make
• 17:33
  sure that the flow of cash is ongoing. I guarantee
• 17:37
  you that if the US had a permanent no more aid
• 17:40
  to Israel policy, AIPAC would shut down. It would
• 17:44
  go away. There'd be no need for it. It's only
• 17:47
  just basically, it only exists to ensure the
• 17:51
  continuation of that flow of cash. Now, that's
• 17:55
  not anti -Semitic conspiracy shit. It's not even
• 17:59
  anti -Zionist. It's simply a statement of fact
• 18:02
  that the US Supports Israel and like all the
• 18:06
  spin like oh we get you know They they spend
• 18:08
  that money to buy stuff from American companies
• 18:12
  or they provide us with vital Intel That's all
• 18:15
  smoke and mirrors and bullshit I mean the fact
• 18:18
  is we're sending money to them. We they need
• 18:21
  us we don't need them and that's how it is and
• 18:24
  And so like why they're trying to distract from
• 18:27
  that and say be scared of the Russians He just
• 18:31
  exploiting the whole Russia narrative from because
• 18:33
  it's there Yeah, and then he knows he knows that
• 18:37
  that shit will get him into the pages of all
• 18:40
  these like Russophobic, you know like neocon
• 18:44
  liberal institutions like the New York Times
• 18:47
  and the The Atlantic Axios places MSNBC. They
• 18:54
  love it. They eat that shit up. I mean I mean
• 18:57
  if you could probably if you could find the absolute
• 19:00
  proof Debunking russia gate like, you know 100
• 19:03
  percent airtight Put it in a book. There's it's
• 19:08
  unimpeachable. No one can say, you know, no one
• 19:12
  could fucking deny it Do you think it would ever
• 19:15
  be mentioned in those same institutions in those
• 19:17
  same media outlets? No, it would be like It's
• 19:23
  been debunked enough and people still Don't accept.
• 19:26
  Oh, it's debunked to anybody who's fair minded,
• 19:28
  right? I mean, of course, but like to, you know,
• 19:31
  anybody who kind of comes to it like cold and
• 19:33
  it's like, okay, let's see. Look, before I started,
• 19:36
  before I took the job at Sputnik, I did a, I
• 19:40
  was deeply concerned that the, that, that, you
• 19:43
  know, that Sputnik or RT or Russia, we're fucking
• 19:48
  around with American elections and stuff. And
• 19:50
  if I'd ever found out In any way shape or form
• 19:53
  that that was the case. I would have never worked
• 19:55
  for the russians. It's like it's like I was determined
• 19:59
  not to ever be Tired with that kind of brush
• 20:03
  right and like I was like this would ruin me
• 20:06
  I knew as it was that there would be all sorts
• 20:08
  of But you know, I knew people would talk shit
• 20:11
  about me anyway But the person I worry about
• 20:15
  the most is myself. Can I live with myself? And
• 20:18
  like if I thought If I thought Russia was like
• 20:21
  fucking around with American elections in good
• 20:23
  conscience, I could have nothing to do with them.
• 20:26
  I dug so deep and I Satisfied myself, you know,
• 20:30
  this is definitely there's no there there Not
• 20:34
  only is there no there there there could be no
• 20:36
  there there and so I was like, okay This is bullshit
• 20:39
  and I don't have to worry about it and people
• 20:41
  can talk shit about me People talk are gonna
• 20:43
  talk shit about you. No matter what You might
• 20:45
  as well just live your life and do your thing.
• 20:47
  And if you're the person that you have to live
• 20:50
  with when you wake up in the morning and look
• 20:52
  in the mirror. Right. So, yeah, I mean, this
• 20:54
  is the it's the Russia thing. I'm so it is a
• 20:59
  it's a mild virus. I mean, just, you know, on
• 21:02
  my on Facebook the other day, I just posted like,
• 21:06
  when are people going to wake up about Ukraine?
• 21:08
  What's up with the liberals? People went crazy.
• 21:11
  Like, it's like it's like, guys, you're you're
• 21:15
  You're in bed like it's a democracy. No, it's
• 21:18
  not it's you know, it's a fascist state like
• 21:21
  you literally it's like It's a democracy that
• 21:24
  won't hold elections at all It's as much a democracy
• 21:29
  opposition parties are banned opposition politicians
• 21:32
  are in prison or house arrest Opposition media
• 21:36
  outlets are banned like the the American Right
• 21:41
  and left will not not your kind of left. I mean
• 21:44
  the Democrats if they if they Say that for example
• 21:50
  Palestine is not a democracy and you know doesn't
• 21:54
  technically exist but the government that they
• 21:57
  have there Hasn't held an election in over 25
• 22:00
  years number and that's true and that's all true
• 22:03
  and they say Hamas is kind of the unelected leader
• 22:07
  leadership of the country. That's true. That's
• 22:10
  true. Although although there, you know, they
• 22:12
  flip it around. They accuse the Gazans. They
• 22:14
  say, well, you elected Hamas. Right. It's like,
• 22:18
  not really. No, really. But anyway, that's beside
• 22:21
  the point. But if we're going to say that that
• 22:23
  that the Gazans picked Hamas and they're a terror
• 22:27
  organization, then well, the the Ukraine, the
• 22:31
  Yuki's didn't elect Zelensky anymore. He they
• 22:36
  elected him eight years ago. Right. And that
• 22:39
  ended two and three years ago at this point.
• 22:41
  Correct. Like they didn't want to have him elected
• 22:44
  anymore. And that's why he's not holding elections
• 22:46
  is because he would be un -elected. He would
• 22:49
  lose. He would lose. Yeah. He would get smashed
• 22:52
  right out of office. So, look, Roboy puts RT
• 22:55
  on there. I knew I thought I saw a flash for
• 22:57
  a moment. So it's on there. I'm surprised he
• 22:59
  didn't put Sputnik on there. But Ted. the dude
• 23:05
  the dude is just he's he's obviously he's got
• 23:09
  to be like pro israel right like that oh yeah
• 23:11
  no that's the point of this right what's the
• 23:13
  point of this book that is the whole point of
• 23:15
  this right don't look like look bart's doing
• 23:19
  stuff don't look over here look over there right
• 23:22
  like what on earth like what would drive you
• 23:27
  to come to this conclusion where we've connected
• 23:30
  we the public does he know that we have access
• 23:34
  to News and other data points that even that
• 23:38
  don't go to mainstream media that we can connect
• 23:41
  Well, yeah, but he's clever in that he knows
• 23:45
  there's interest in Epstein and He knows that
• 23:49
  there's an on there's a bottomless appetite for
• 23:52
  anything that points to Russia as nefarious So
• 23:56
  I'm just we're still not over this and I'm just
• 23:59
  going to an election. Yeah, and the Ukraine stuff
• 24:04
  You know, it has not lost any of its power. He's
• 24:08
  brilliant for dragging in all of all of these.
• 24:12
  Well, the geniuses. Look, the American people
• 24:14
  don't know better because they've never been
• 24:16
  told better. Right. You can. Here's the thing
• 24:18
  is like you can be I understand like people who
• 24:21
  don't follow the news very much, blah, blah,
• 24:22
  blah. But what's truly terrifying is you can
• 24:27
  be a college educated, very well informed. regular
• 24:34
  news consumer of reputable news outlets like
• 24:37
  the Washington Post, the New York Times, read
• 24:39
  them every single day. You can read, you know,
• 24:43
  you can watch the CBS Evening News every night.
• 24:45
  You can watch CNN hours a day. And you do all
• 24:48
  those things. Now, 40 years ago, all of those
• 24:51
  things would have made you a reasonably well
• 24:53
  -informed person. And you probably have, you
• 24:56
  know, yes, there's propaganda and all that, but
• 24:59
  90, you'd be 95 % up on what's really going on.
• 25:03
  That's not true anymore. Like now you watch all
• 25:06
  that shit and you don't even know half of what's
• 25:09
  going on Because it's so it's so infested with
• 25:13
  propaganda and there's no alternate voices allowed
• 25:16
  and there's no truth allowed to see pin It's
• 25:18
  so carefully. It's so captured That's the difference.
• 25:23
  That's the thing is that like to be a well -educated
• 25:26
  elite in the United States is no longer to be
• 25:30
  well -informed that's terrifying yeah this is
• 25:35
  i i just thought this was like a funny thing
• 25:37
  because he's starting to pick up steam and i
• 25:39
  could see why now i went to his his website obviously
• 25:42
  and um ted you gotta go see his instagram i don't
• 25:46
  know how old he is but he looks like he's in
• 25:50
  his 50s right wouldn't you say maybe maybe six
• 25:53
  maybe early 60s but anyway i went to his instagram
• 25:55
  and i would urge you all to do the same thing
• 25:58
  from the neck down he's he's roided up as hell
• 26:01
  Really Roy did I I mean I don't want to get a
• 26:06
  lawsuit but from Slapped against me but from
• 26:09
  what I can see there is no middle -aged man that
• 26:12
  looks like that naturally Well, it's not like
• 26:15
  what what's he gonna sue for that you're speculating
• 26:18
  that he's roided Yeah, I think he's right it
• 26:21
  up as hell and Blake. Thank you for the donation
• 26:24
  Blake says who needs to go Tuesday when you could
• 26:27
  have Teddy titty Tuesday, let's go! Oh my god,
• 26:31
  Blake brings it over to the TMI show. Blake,
• 26:34
  Blake, Blake. Tara Prada -Wild says, Robbie,
• 26:37
  Robbie doesn't know apparently I left a message
• 26:39
  in the original stream chat to come over to this
• 26:42
  one. And Astonishing says, I thought Aaron Maté
• 26:47
  already debunked Russiagate. Everybody has debunked
• 26:49
  Russiagate. But yeah, if you guys go to, I don't
• 26:52
  want to put his Instagram. I mean, James Comey
• 26:53
  debunked. Russia gate I don't want to look I
• 26:58
  don't want to put this on the screen because
• 26:59
  it's too it's it's too early for our West Coast
• 27:02
  friends But if you go to his Instagram, so he's
• 27:06
  like a wannabe bodybuilder, huh? And he shows
• 27:10
  a lot of Scantily clad Yeah, go look it's I'm
• 27:19
  not gonna put it up because it's I was kind of
• 27:22
  like a part of me was like dry heaving Because
• 27:27
  he's so foul on what he's claiming to report
• 27:31
  and what he says Just you guys can go look at
• 27:37
  his Instagram on your own Dude is half naked
• 27:40
  and half the photos and the other half. Oh, I'm
• 27:43
  looking now. Holy shit. I told you Ted you're
• 27:47
  gonna tell me that's a natural body in No, no,
• 27:51
  of course not. Like, you know, here's the thing
• 27:52
  like If you look at pictures of bodybuilders
• 27:56
  from a hundred years ago, you know, those old
• 27:57
  timey ones with the stripey outfits, they didn't
• 28:00
  look like this. Those guys didn't have roids.
• 28:03
  They just, they just had weights and food. Yeah.
• 28:07
  This guy, I would say he's between 55 and 60ish.
• 28:12
  He is terrifying. Yeah. Yes. So I don't know
• 28:18
  if he's writing. in the middle of, of roid rage.
• 28:23
  And he's like, Russia, Russia. And like, I love
• 28:28
  Israel. Very strange. But I, I think I urge you
• 28:33
  guys to all go see his, um, his Instagram, David
• 28:37
  boy, R E a B O I is his last name. Go look at
• 28:42
  his Instagram on your own. I warned you. So before
• 28:46
  you like rub your eyes and you're like, Oh, my
• 28:49
  eyes. My eyes, my eyes. I warned you. I'm just
• 28:52
  letting you know. I'm just not putting it on
• 28:54
  our airtime because I'm kind of like, no, thank
• 28:59
  you. Hard pass. I don't want to do it. Anyway,
• 29:02
  we'll move on to the next story, but there you
• 29:04
  go. This is Russia. By the way, you can't make
• 29:08
  this shit up. So David Urboy was accused. So
• 29:14
  he filed under Farah. He worked as an agent of
• 29:19
  Viktor Orbán. He received 35k from the Hungarian
• 29:24
  embassy six years ago. To what? To promote, to
• 29:32
  paid advocacy, oh, to criticize Qatar and say
• 29:37
  that Qatar sucked. Yeah, yeah. Let's see. And
• 29:46
  Viktor Orbán is a buddy of Vladimir Putin. Right.
• 29:52
  So this might be an employment dispute. You know
• 29:57
  what I mean? In October of this year, that's
• 30:04
  now, he called for the prosecution of leakers
• 30:07
  tied to drop site news, accusing a drop site
• 30:11
  news of supporting terrorism. That's Ryan Grim's
• 30:14
  outlet. Yeah. Anna Kasparian got angry at him,
• 30:19
  questioned whether... U .S. foreign policy towards
• 30:23
  Israel and Iran should face similar material
• 30:26
  support scrutiny. Yeah. This image, Alexander
• 30:31
  Dugan is sitting there. This is the video, I
• 30:35
  believe, taken from the Tucker Carlson interview
• 30:38
  with Alexander Dugan. No, he's a Zionist. I mean,
• 30:40
  I'm looking at it right now. There's the combat
• 30:42
  anti -Semitism movement is promoting his book.
• 30:48
  That's what this is all about. OK, so he's OK.
• 30:52
  you so you guys go before he starts blowing up
• 30:55
  all over the press this is who he is this is
• 30:58
  what he's about and maybe somewhere oh he writes
• 31:01
  for tablet which is a zionist rag somebody is
• 31:06
  paying him for this ted i don't think he just
• 31:09
  decided to write this book somebody's paying
• 31:12
  i don't know who but somebody anti russia is
• 31:16
  paying for this yeah yeah yeah this slop this
• 31:19
  is this is some slop so there you guys go So
• 31:22
  go check that out. Go check out. If you want
• 31:24
  to be grossed out, check out his Instagram. Well,
• 31:26
  we know someone's paying them. But I know the
• 31:29
  Daily Wire is going broke. And that's one of
• 31:31
  the reasons why the Daily Wire, that that virtue,
• 31:34
  that pillar of conservative thought is in bed
• 31:36
  now, a couchy encouraging people to go to go
• 31:39
  gamble. Oh, yeah, because they're desperate.
• 31:43
  I mean, they got rid of they got rid of that
• 31:46
  boring dude who was there is name boring. I can't
• 31:50
  remember his first name. Oh, Jeremy Boring. They
• 31:52
  got rid of him. They laid off more than half
• 31:55
  of him. I thought he was a co -founder. How can
• 31:56
  you get rid of him? Ben Shapiro has the Benjamins,
• 32:01
  as they say. So what he says happens. So yeah,
• 32:05
  I mean, of course they're getting paid. And that's
• 32:07
  what they're doing. They're ginning this up.
• 32:09
  And I have no doubt that the Israel lobby is
• 32:12
  trying to deflect like they always do. And blame
• 32:15
  Russia. Of course. They got to keep that warning.
• 32:18
  Blame Russia for everything. Just everything.
• 32:20
  Yeah, that's true. That's true. All right, speaking
• 32:22
  of which, next topic, Ted, this one's you. It's
• 32:26
  still Russia. A hacked cell phone, Russian spies,
• 32:32
  Middle Eastern royalty, and billions of dollars
• 32:35
  in mysterious bank transfers sounds like the
• 32:37
  plot of a political thriller, but the dude at
• 32:40
  the center of the story is Jared Kushner, Trump's
• 32:44
  son -in -law. An investigation published by Vanity
• 32:47
  Fair claims that Kushner secretly had access
• 32:50
  to about $2 billion in foreign accounts funded
• 32:54
  by the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the UAE while
• 32:57
  serving as a senior White House advisor during
• 33:00
  Trump 1 .0 administration. This is all out of
• 33:04
  a new book by Matthew Cole called Princes and
• 33:07
  Thieves. According to Cole, Russian military
• 33:10
  intelligence hacked Kushner's phone in 2017.
• 33:16
  Dutch intelligence agencies subsequently recruited
• 33:19
  a Russian operative who was aware of this and
• 33:22
  gained access to the compromised phone. Then,
• 33:27
  Dutch spies allegedly watched Kushner access
• 33:30
  a Dubai bank account containing hundreds of millions
• 33:33
  of dollars transferred through Azerbaijan. Cole
• 33:37
  says one account held about $750 million, with
• 33:40
  Kushner authorized to access funds ostensibly
• 33:43
  controlled by an Emirati charity, which was actually
• 33:46
  a front. Another alleged account held about a
• 33:51
  billion bucks routed through Israel's central
• 33:54
  bank, like the Fed of Israel. The money, according
• 33:58
  to Cole's sources, was intended to finance secret
• 34:01
  diplomatic initiatives and buy influence over
• 34:04
  US foreign policy. Some of the money allegedly
• 34:06
  went to individuals connected to mercenary operations.
• 34:10
  Obviously, this is a very serious accusation
• 34:14
  because at the time Kushner was helping to negotiate
• 34:17
  Middle Eastern policy, he was Trump's envoy,
• 34:20
  involving the very governments providing that
• 34:23
  money. However, Kushner categorically denies
• 34:26
  the allegations saying that they're fake news.
• 34:30
  The attorneys say the author has produced no
• 34:33
  bank statements, wire transfer records, or independently
• 34:38
  verifiable evidence. They have threatened legal
• 34:40
  action. As always, Ted Raul looks in a denial
• 34:44
  like this to say, okay, you've issued a full
• 34:46
  -throated denial. That's impressive. But when
• 34:50
  I'm going to start to take you seriously, Jared,
• 34:52
  is if you file a defamation claim and you expose
• 34:55
  yourself to discovery. If you don't, I'm not
• 34:58
  going to believe you. CBS News said it has not
• 35:01
  independently verified the book's allegations.
• 35:04
  The Bank of Israel disputes the account. There's
• 35:07
  another financial controversy about Kushner.
• 35:09
  After he left the White House in 2021, his private
• 35:13
  equity firm, Affinity Partners, received a $2
• 35:16
  billion investment, billion, from Saudi Arabia's
• 35:19
  sovereign wealth fund. That publicly reported
• 35:22
  investment is separate from the newly alleged
• 35:25
  secret accounts and the two should not be confused.
• 35:29
  Now Kushner is again participating in international
• 35:31
  diplomacy under Trump. despite operating as an
• 35:35
  unpaid presidential advisor rather than as a
• 35:37
  Senate confirmed official. The government watchdog
• 35:40
  has filed suit challenging that arrangement and
• 35:44
  the financial transparency or lack thereof. The
• 35:46
  central question is were foreign governments
• 35:49
  secretly financing American diplomacy and if
• 35:52
  so what did they get or expect in return? Obviously
• 35:56
  this is a very strange story and it's weird that
• 36:00
  the Russians seem to probably know the answer
• 36:03
  to these questions. I don't doubt, Ted, that
• 36:10
  the Russian hackers probably did hack into Kushner's
• 36:14
  phone, but what they're saying here is that the
• 36:18
  Dutch CIA or whatever, the Dutch CIA flipped
• 36:25
  a Russian hacker that hacked this phone and they
• 36:29
  were able to view Kushner doing like bank transactions
• 36:34
  in real time and Then and this is published in
• 36:38
  Vanity Fair Ted This isn't like some rag like
• 36:42
  Dave Raboi writes for right, right? This is Vanity
• 36:45
  Fair. Um So I don't what what what should we
• 36:50
  make of this? I mean, I feel like I want to trust
• 36:53
  the reporting because it's on Vanity Fair Well,
• 36:57
  it's not really Vanity Fair reporting, right?
• 37:00
  It's Vanity Fair excerpting a book. So the real
• 37:05
  question is how did the fact -checking go with
• 37:08
  Matthew Cole's book, which presumably is unlike
• 37:12
  the other book we talked about published by a
• 37:15
  major publisher, I would think. I'll look that
• 37:18
  up now. Yeah, so this yeah i've ted is the publishing
• 37:22
  expert i've never published a book ted's published
• 37:24
  a thousand books like all the ones behind him
• 37:26
  It's simon and schuster. So yeah, it's a real
• 37:29
  publisher. Mm -hmm. So do you think simon and
• 37:32
  schuster is Well, they would have fact -checked.
• 37:34
  They would have fact -checked it they would have
• 37:36
  had to because uh, Whenever you have would you
• 37:39
  publish something like this calm, right? Trust
• 37:41
  me. I i've been through this process. Um, if
• 37:44
  you publish anything that uh, you know could
• 37:47
  uh, you know Caught give rise to a defamation
• 37:51
  claim They might not publish it even if everything
• 37:53
  you have to say is true just because they might
• 37:55
  not want the hassle Right, but you know, but
• 38:00
  especially if they decide they're gonna they're
• 38:01
  willing to take the chance They're gonna fact
• 38:03
  -check it the shit out of it It's gonna limit
• 38:05
  their liability their exposure and they want
• 38:08
  to make sure everything they publish is true
• 38:09
  because truth is an absolute defense to defamation
• 38:12
  in court, so I don't know. I think that's a Probably
• 38:19
  John Doe. I have an answer for that. I have an
• 38:24
  answer for that. So John Doe, I think Jared Kushner,
• 38:27
  yes, one, when you sell your soul to Satan, your
• 38:33
  body gets preserved like you're like pickled,
• 38:35
  right? Number one. Number two, I think, and it's
• 38:39
  just a manila theory, but I do think some of
• 38:43
  those billions of dollars that the Saudis or
• 38:46
  Emiratis might have given Jared Kushner, I think
• 38:49
  went to some plastic surgeons in New York City.
• 38:53
  Yeah, I think that's probably true. And definitely,
• 38:56
  definitely. And this is like, I mean, I've I've
• 38:58
  worked in I'm from LA, number one. So I like
• 39:02
  I have a strong baseline understanding of what
• 39:06
  this looks like. Rhinoplasty. No, no, he didn't
• 39:09
  he He's botoxed all to hell, like his whole face.
• 39:14
  His face, that's why he's expressionless and
• 39:17
  why he's not wrinkling. I mean, and about that
• 39:21
  too, like whatever, all of them. It's that whole
• 39:24
  Mar -a -Lago look that we've discussed, right?
• 39:27
  But I'm willing to bet that some of those billions
• 39:29
  of dollars went to some high -end plastic surgeons
• 39:33
  in New York City, in Manhattan, somewhere. And
• 39:36
  a couple - I would agree with that. a couple
• 39:38
  of injections here and there. It's a thing, I'm
• 39:41
  not knocking him for it, I'm saying it's a thing
• 39:43
  and men are starting to do it. It's very common.
• 39:46
  And you know, Jared's my age, maybe he's a year
• 39:49
  or two older, but he's like late 40s. So, you
• 39:52
  know, people do that. Maybe it's just cause he's
• 39:56
  pure of heart. Yes, so either you're totally
• 40:01
  pure of heart or it's because you sold your soul
• 40:04
  to the devil. And maybe he drinks the blood of
• 40:07
  unicorns. It could be. Um, but either way, yeah,
• 40:11
  Jared's face is not, when you don't move your
• 40:13
  face, Ted, you don't get wrinkles. If you have
• 40:15
  no expressions, you're not going to get wrinkles.
• 40:18
  Um, so that's why Jared looks like that, like
• 40:21
  he did 10 years ago is because he's frozen his
• 40:24
  face in time. He's just totally frozen. Um, yeah,
• 40:30
  whatever. But I do think, look, one thing we
• 40:33
  know for sure, Ted, I don't know. Okay. Given
• 40:37
  that Vanity Fair's quoting the book and really
• 40:41
  putting it on blast. Simon and Schuster publishing
• 40:45
  the book, and I do think they have a strong fact
• 40:48
  -checking department, right? Like they wouldn't
• 40:50
  just willy -nilly publish like a David Raboy
• 40:53
  book. No, no. That's for sure. I'm sure he came
• 40:58
  to them and they said no, right? So yeah, they
• 41:03
  laughed at him. He went in there shirtless. No,
• 41:06
  but this book, This book saying that Kushner
• 41:11
  is basically compromised I'm I'm apt to believe
• 41:16
  it. I look we know right right after like moments
• 41:21
  after Trump ditched Joe Biden's inauguration
• 41:26
  ceremony right and took off in the chopper Moments
• 41:29
  later. I mean while the chopper was in the air
• 41:32
  and he was no longer the first son -in -law he
• 41:35
  had billions of dollars transferred from a sovereign
• 41:39
  wealth fund by the Saudis to as an investment
• 41:42
  into his whatever his hedge fund or some building
• 41:45
  project or something or another. But that's a
• 41:48
  proven fact. Like that's on the books that's
• 41:51
  documented. The Saudis dumped billions of dollars
• 41:53
  into some fund that Kushner headed up. Yeah,
• 41:58
  that's not a secret. So another couple of billion
• 42:02
  here and there under the table. is not unreasonable,
• 42:08
  I would say. No, it's not impossible. And I hate
• 42:14
  to break this to some people, but this is how
• 42:18
  dirty work is done in Washington and whether
• 42:21
  or not barring. It's on a massive scale though.
• 42:26
  Yeah, barring the Epstein sex scandal stuff.
• 42:31
  If you if you guys don't focus on the sex part,
• 42:34
  I know that's a major part of the whole Epstein
• 42:36
  lore well, yeah, but but He Epstein was also
• 42:42
  known as a prolific arms trader. He's a he was
• 42:45
  a Like a wheeling and dealing negotiator guy.
• 42:49
  This is how because Governments need a dude to
• 42:53
  do the dirty work. And so Epstein did that so
• 42:58
  either he was like He's the connector number
• 43:01
  one right like connecting Powerful people from
• 43:04
  this country with the leader of this country
• 43:06
  or another power power player in that country
• 43:09
  Well Kushner Not not saying anything about child
• 43:14
  trafficking. I'm not saying that but he is obviously
• 43:16
  a major connection point in US politics obviously
• 43:22
  right obviously, so if governments want things
• 43:27
  done they're gonna give Kushner, they're gonna,
• 43:31
  you know, grease his palms a little bit. Cause
• 43:34
  he's not just gonna, he's not just gonna be like,
• 43:37
  you know, let me talk to my father -in -law out
• 43:39
  of the goodness of his heart. This is how things
• 43:41
  are done. This is how it's always been done.
• 43:44
  It's around the world and every culture, every,
• 43:46
  so I'm not saying I'm not defending Kushner because
• 43:49
  this, if this is true, this would be a major.
• 43:53
  major would be criminal major criminal behavior
• 43:56
  major federal offense major if true if provable
• 44:01
  I mean it could order on treason oh for sure
• 44:04
  but I'm just saying for all of history this is
• 44:10
  how it's been done true so I'm I'm not shocked
• 44:14
  by it so I'm I would be one to believe the author
• 44:19
  yeah but but Russia Ted ties to Russia Well,
• 44:24
  I mean, you know, and this is this does tie into
• 44:26
  the Russian thing Where it's like they get a
• 44:29
  lot of information and they tend just to just
• 44:32
  to just keep it And they sit on it like a like
• 44:36
  a like a goose sitting on an egg. They don't
• 44:38
  they don't spend it It's like think about like
• 44:41
  you remember the dnc hacking, right? so You know,
• 44:45
  we know we know for a fact that you know, the
• 44:48
  that russia did Know they did get into the dnc
• 44:53
  But it was not through Julian Assange, right?
• 44:57
  I mean, that's not what happened and so basically
• 45:01
  The Russian everybody was hacking into the DNC
• 45:05
  Apparently they had like they and so the Russians
• 45:08
  went in they were one of many foreign powers
• 45:11
  They went in and they poked around and they looked
• 45:14
  and they were like, okay, that's interesting
• 45:17
  and they just around and they probably you know,
• 45:20
  used that information that they got to analyze
• 45:23
  their take on the American elections and on the
• 45:25
  Democratic Party in particular. And that's where
• 45:27
  things sat. That's how they do things. They're
• 45:30
  just gathering the little information magpies.
• 45:34
  Right. They just collect and they're like...
• 45:38
  They're not really using it to manipulate. They're
• 45:40
  not into hacking into elections and changing
• 45:44
  the outcome. It's not their thing. That's the
• 45:46
  shit we do. No, they don't forcibly do anything.
• 45:49
  That's weird. They just want they want to know
• 45:51
  what's going on, right? They're just like like
• 45:54
  your nosy neighbor That's all they are right,
• 45:58
  right? No, no, they're not they just like being
• 46:04
  in the know Mm -hmm cuz knowledge is power Well,
• 46:08
  Ted, I was gonna argue that that we know after
• 46:11
  thousands of years of Russian culture. We know
• 46:13
  that the Russians very much They laud and appreciate
• 46:20
  learning and just knowing stuff. Sure. It's a
• 46:27
  cultural value to them, right? They really, really
• 46:31
  value knowledge and information in that culture.
• 46:34
  Because you just never know. You just need to
• 46:37
  know stuff. And so they, yeah, do they be hacking?
• 46:40
  They probably have some of the best world class
• 46:42
  hackers, like for sure. For sure, yeah. But another
• 46:46
  point I want to bring up Ted is this is why Because
• 46:50
  I do believe this happened to Jared Kushner.
• 46:52
  I do believe he got hacked and they were watching
• 46:55
  his phone in real time as he's like moving money
• 46:58
  around and scheduling Botox appointments or whatever
• 47:02
  As one does as any middle -aged man in his 40s
• 47:08
  from New York does Ted come on we all know come
• 47:11
  on I mean, that's why I look the way I look obviously
• 47:14
  but but I just want to point out that this is
• 47:19
  why it's dangerous to have people that are unelected
• 47:24
  government workers in air quotes, right? Like,
• 47:28
  and they're they're using unprotected phones.
• 47:34
  Because like the like, when you're high ranking,
• 47:37
  like obviously the president, the vice president,
• 47:39
  his cabinet, they have assigned government phones.
• 47:42
  So if you're going to talk about sensitive stuff,
• 47:45
  like it's basically siloed in its own network,
• 47:48
  right? It's not that it's not hackable, but it's
• 47:51
  at least that much harder. Here's Jared using
• 47:53
  his iPhone, right? Using his iPhone through like
• 47:58
  AT &T or whatever, like moving money around.
• 48:02
  Well, you know why? It's the same reason that
• 48:04
  Hillary had her private email server. If you
• 48:07
  use government equipment, you are subject to
• 48:09
  the Freedom of Information Act, and people can
• 48:11
  request that. If you use your own stuff, it's
• 48:15
  not government property. That's why they do it.
• 48:17
  It's, it's not because he's incompetent. It's
• 48:19
  because he's hiding from the American people.
• 48:23
  That's exactly right. That's a good point. And
• 48:25
  that again, there's no accountability if you
• 48:28
  aren't officially a government official. So Jared
• 48:31
  kind of treading on the, if all this is true
• 48:37
  is treading on the Epstein pathway because that's
• 48:41
  how Epstein started out. He was a power broker.
• 48:46
  He connected powerful people with other powerful
• 48:49
  people who wanted to do Maybe perhaps nefarious
• 48:54
  perhaps not nefarious. I don't know just wanted
• 48:56
  to do things. They wanted to get things done
• 48:59
  and Epstein was a means for that So be careful
• 49:03
  Jared Be careful Jared You're one step away from
• 49:09
  going full Epstein Hanging out with presidents.
• 49:14
  Hey, you know Just saying, Ted. Yeah. You're
• 49:18
  one step away from going full Epstein. Be careful,
• 49:21
  buddy. All right. This one here. Oh, so science,
• 49:36
  since humans became the smartest creatures on
• 49:39
  earth was because of a prehistoric viral infection,
• 49:44
  scientists in Sweden have uncovered remarkable
• 49:47
  evidence suggesting a virus that infected our
• 49:50
  ancient primate relatives millions and millions
• 49:54
  of years ago may help explain why human brains
• 49:57
  developed so differently from those of chimpanzees.
• 50:00
  The study published in Science Advances, you
• 50:04
  know, Ted, we love these magazines, like scientific
• 50:06
  magazines and journals. I love them too. Their
• 50:09
  names are so catchy. Science Advances examines
• 50:14
  a mysterious evolutionary puzzle. Humans and
• 50:17
  chimpanzees share nearly 99 % of their DNA, yet
• 50:21
  the human brain is roughly three times larger.
• 50:24
  So what happened there? Researchers at Lund University
• 50:28
  identified remnants of an ancient retrovirus.
• 50:32
  Not retro because it's like from old, it's old
• 50:35
  Ted. Because it's old and cool. is retro. This
• 50:39
  retrovirus, one word, embedded in chimpanzee
• 50:42
  DNA, but absent from humans. How about that?
• 50:47
  Retroviruses can insert genetic material into
• 50:52
  their hosts, sometimes leaving permanent changes
• 50:55
  that pass down through generations. Scientists
• 50:59
  have discovered that this particular viral DNA
• 51:02
  suppresses genetic activity involved in brain
• 51:05
  development. To test their theory, researchers
• 51:08
  grew miniature brain -like structures from human
• 51:12
  and chimpanzee stem cells. Because that's not
• 51:16
  creepy at all. No, what could go wrong? Growing
• 51:21
  mini brains of chimps and humans like in a giant
• 51:26
  test tube. Cool. When they remove the viral DNA
• 51:31
  from chimpanzee cells, previously suppressed
• 51:35
  genetic activity switched on. Introducing...
• 51:39
  I'm sure that didn't freak them out at all. So
• 51:43
  weird. The story is so weird. Introducing the
• 51:46
  viral DNA into the human cells had the opposite
• 51:50
  effect. So researchers believe the infection
• 51:52
  may have occurred some five to seven million
• 51:55
  years ago around the time our evolutionary ancestors
• 51:59
  Diverged the findings don't establish that a
• 52:01
  prehistoric pandemic created human intelligence
• 52:04
  rather They suggest ancient infections helped
• 52:07
  shape our evolutionary trajectory. So it kind
• 52:09
  of it kept the chimps dumb and we kept evolving
• 52:12
  and Here's something remarkable roughly eight
• 52:17
  percent of human DNA consists of genetic remnants
• 52:21
  left behind by ancient retroviruses. So we did,
• 52:26
  so there are other viruses that helped shape
• 52:29
  our human brain, but the big leap from our brain
• 52:33
  being that just that extra, I think it's like
• 52:37
  one, 2 % different than chimpanzee brains or
• 52:39
  bonobo brains was apparently this virus. That's
• 52:44
  how we diverge. Isn't that, isn't that crazy?
• 52:48
  Um, So it's not that God chose us to be better,
• 52:52
  Ted. It's that some virus kept the others dumb
• 52:55
  and we just kept evolving over time. It's like
• 52:59
  a lot of random accidents, of course. Yeah, yeah,
• 53:02
  yeah. But what creeped me out was imagining the
• 53:08
  lab in Switzerland. Yeah. Growing brains. Can
• 53:13
  you imagine like, oh my God. I'm so sorry I was
• 53:16
  drunk last night and I knocked into the table
• 53:18
  and everything spilled out onto the floor. They're
• 53:21
  just like brains floating in like in jars. Yeah,
• 53:26
  they literally made brains from stem cells like
• 53:29
  that is creepy shit. But but they were able to
• 53:35
  remove. Another scary part of that is that they
• 53:39
  were able to remove that that generational virus
• 53:46
  like how do you remove that from the brain the
• 53:48
  chimp brain that you created like that you grew
• 53:52
  how do you remove so is it like a thing a thing
• 53:58
  you can pinpoint in the brain is it like stored
• 54:02
  in the cerebellum somewhere like where that's
• 54:06
  my question is how do you remove that gene a
• 54:10
  gene oh I guess you remove it from the sequencing
• 54:12
  right like the DNA sequencing yeah I would think
• 54:14
  so and then they grew it i suppose right and
• 54:19
  then they put that into the human and that's
• 54:23
  totally normal and there's nothing wrong with
• 54:25
  it right you guys this is not scary or at all
• 54:29
  or strange this is not island of dr moro shit
• 54:33
  at all no and if you say it is then you are anti
• 54:39
  -semitic against the swiss um and ted we should
• 54:44
  point out Isn't CERN in Switzerland also? Yes,
• 54:49
  where the Hadron Large Particle Collider is.
• 54:55
  Collider. Yeah. Yeah. So Ted, what the fuck are
• 54:58
  they doing in Switzerland, man? They're colliding
• 55:01
  atoms and shit? We're up to no good. Switzerland!
• 55:06
  They're like, we're neutral. We're neutral. Yeah,
• 55:10
  they're neutral. But you know, that's the thing
• 55:11
  about people who are watch out for the bland.
• 55:14
  Because they're bored and right they're like
• 55:17
  we are neutral. We don't take sides and We like
• 55:21
  everybody but then they're over here like crashing
• 55:24
  Protons and atoms and shit and then making brains.
• 55:28
  That's exactly it Watch out for Switzerland.
• 55:31
  That's the dark horse of the future of Earth
• 55:34
  control Dark horse. I'm just saying Switzerland
• 55:38
  nobody saw that one coming Ted no one but I'm
• 55:40
  just I'm gonna call it right now Switzerland
• 55:43
  So when the AI takes over like the rest of the
• 55:46
  world, Switzerland, just I'm going to say look
• 55:48
  at Switzerland. Just watch out. Indeed. And if
• 55:58
  you've ever paid hundreds of dollars to stay
• 56:00
  at an Airbnb only to receive a checkout list
• 56:03
  longer than your grocery list, there's good news.
• 56:06
  Airbnb is officially putting an end to mandatory
• 56:09
  housekeeping chores. Beginning November 20th,
• 56:12
  the vacation rental giant will prohibit hosts
• 56:15
  from requiring guests to wash dishes. strip beds,
• 56:19
  do laundry, or haul garbage off the property.
• 56:24
  The changes follow years of complaints by frustrated
• 56:27
  travelers who've been expected to perform household
• 56:29
  chores despite paying hefty cleaning fees, sometimes
• 56:33
  exceeding $100. Under the new rules, hosts can
• 56:37
  still make reasonable requests such as putting
• 56:40
  dirty dishes in the sink, gathering used towels,
• 56:43
  or separating recyclables. But anything normally
• 56:46
  handled by a professional cleaner is generally
• 56:49
  off -limits. And I wouldn't say stripping a bed
• 56:52
  is something that's something that's normally
• 56:54
  handled by a professional cleaner. And there's
• 56:56
  another change. Hosts must disclose their rules
• 57:00
  before guests book. Well, that's reasonable.
• 57:03
  No more surprise chore lists taped to the fridge.
• 57:07
  Some Airbnb owners argue that washing dishes
• 57:09
  and taking out the trash are basic courtesies,
• 57:12
  not professional cleaning duties. In fact, Thousands
• 57:15
  of hosts have signed a petition protesting the
• 57:18
  new policy warning that additional cleaning expenses
• 57:20
  could mean higher rental rates. Travel industry
• 57:24
  experts say Airbnb is responding to increased
• 57:27
  competition from traditional hotels where guests
• 57:32
  generally aren't expected to scrub the kitchen
• 57:35
  before checking out, which raises an interesting
• 57:38
  question about the business in general. Airbnb
• 57:41
  originally attracted travelers with the promise
• 57:43
  of affordable accommodations and a more personal
• 57:46
  experience, but with cleaning fees, service charges,
• 57:49
  strict house rules, and sometimes higher nightly
• 57:52
  rates, Airbnb might be losing the very advantage
• 57:55
  that made it popular. Totally. Do you use Airbnb
• 58:02
  at all? Not anymore. I haven't in years since
• 58:05
  they started introducing all this shit so do
• 58:08
  you remember when they first launched had like
• 58:11
  um they they almost were like a just to rent
• 58:17
  my room for a day or two or whatever it was like
• 58:20
  a it was like they it was even like almost like
• 58:24
  a well it was a european company right and the
• 58:27
  idea was oh surfing Yeah, I was like house it
• 58:30
  was almost like house -swapping right like, you
• 58:33
  know, like oh, you'll stay with the people will
• 58:36
  be still living there and Hang with them and
• 58:39
  maybe have meals with them. You're like their
• 58:41
  exchange student almost. Yeah. Yeah backpackers
• 58:44
  It started out like that because I remember my
• 58:47
  friend and I He was like he had a big house and
• 58:51
  I rented a room so we're all like I was treated
• 58:53
  as a roommate but But he was like, Yeah, I don't
• 58:57
  know. Like, I can't get out, you know, I have
• 58:59
  these extra rooms. I was like, Hey, there's this
• 59:01
  new thing called Airbnb, like, that you treat
• 59:04
  your room kind of like a hotel room. So people
• 59:06
  will come crash for like, a day or two or a week.
• 59:11
  And that's it. And then you'll make almost the
• 59:14
  same amount as like renting it out as a room
• 59:16
  rental, right for the month, right? I was like,
• 59:18
  you should totally do that. And that's how that
• 59:20
  started. And then it became this. like where
• 59:24
  people expect renting the whole house and whatever.
• 59:29
  And then and then you have to be the maid too.
• 59:33
  And when it became morphed into this, this is
• 59:35
  when I stopped using it. We just went back to
• 59:38
  doing hotel stuff because of like, dude, I'm
• 59:43
  not going to like I'm not going to steam clean
• 59:45
  your fucking shades and blinds and like. That
• 59:49
  wasn't expected. I mean, there are people that
• 59:53
  I've seen. I've seen some places that have like
• 59:56
  this laundry list of house rules where I'm like,
• 59:59
  I'm so put off by this and you're going to charge
• 1:00:02
  more than a hotel. Forget it. I'll just get two
• 1:00:05
  hotel rooms because I have you know, like the
• 1:00:07
  big travel the big family. And when we went to
• 1:00:11
  Iceland on the big family trip last year, right,
• 1:00:13
  like both sets of parents, me and we only had
• 1:00:17
  the one kid at the time. We just all got hotel
• 1:00:20
  rooms and it was cheaper than doing Airbnb. Yeah.
• 1:00:23
  I mean, look, I'll check both. If hotels are
• 1:00:26
  I generally prefer the more anonymous experience
• 1:00:29
  of a hotel even more than a bed and breakfast
• 1:00:32
  because I kind of like don't want to interact
• 1:00:35
  with people, you know, and and so but like if
• 1:00:38
  I have to, I will. And if it's like too expensive,
• 1:00:42
  then I will. Airbnb has certainly been a good
• 1:00:44
  option. Look, I basically agree. If they're charging
• 1:00:46
  you a cleaning fee, Then in general, you shouldn't
• 1:00:50
  be cleaning. I mean, certainly it's not unreasonable.
• 1:00:56
  I mean, look, here's the thing. It used to be
• 1:00:59
  like, oh, strip the bed and can you please start
• 1:01:02
  the washer on your way out the door, right? I
• 1:01:05
  get that. If it's a family and you're renting
• 1:01:08
  out their room and like that way, by the time
• 1:01:11
  you're gone and they get into the house, like
• 1:01:14
  say an hour later, hey, The washer cycle's already
• 1:01:17
  run. Things have started. And they can have things
• 1:01:20
  ready in case they have someone else showing
• 1:01:22
  up at 3 o 'clock. They have that four hours.
• 1:01:25
  They can make the most of it. But if they have
• 1:01:28
  professional cleaners coming in, then why are
• 1:01:32
  you doing that? Those cleaners can swoop in at
• 1:01:35
  11 o 'clock at checkout time and just get to
• 1:01:39
  work, right? So that is an issue. I don't know.
• 1:01:45
  I think it is true basically recently but a lot
• 1:01:48
  of airbnb properties are not even like families
• 1:01:51
  anymore, right? These are people they're investment
• 1:01:53
  properties people buy a unit and they trick it
• 1:01:56
  out as an airbnb and they run it as a hotel 20
• 1:02:00
  365 days a year They never live there. It's totally
• 1:02:04
  generic like, you know They have like those generic
• 1:02:07
  decorations on the ground on the wall like live
• 1:02:10
  love laugh Life's a beach, right? Ted I recently
• 1:02:17
  looked at one a bear an Airbnb of like a small
• 1:02:21
  life is good my personal favorite crop those
• 1:02:23
  over Gaza I I saw I saw one lady because you
• 1:02:29
  know you can see who the host is one lady She
• 1:02:32
  specifically said in her post you have to bring
• 1:02:36
  your own fucking bedding. Oh I've seen that What
• 1:02:42
  like bring your own bedding and towels? Yeah,
• 1:02:47
  that's that's well, I mean, that's kind of like,
• 1:02:50
  basically, you're camping. You're basically camping.
• 1:02:54
  Now I get it. I've seen that like, you know,
• 1:02:57
  I've looked at places like in rural Maine, that's
• 1:03:00
  a cabin way up in a mountain or something. And
• 1:03:03
  they're kind of like, you know, we can't really
• 1:03:05
  leave bedding and shit there because it's going
• 1:03:07
  to get gross and scrungy. And also they don't
• 1:03:10
  have a washer dryer, so they don't have the ability.
• 1:03:13
  to wash it right so that's why you're supposed
• 1:03:15
  to but okay here's the thing i'm game for that
• 1:03:19
  like i'll drive somewhere with my own bedding
• 1:03:21
  and towels but it's got to be fucking cheap it's
• 1:03:25
  got to be like 50 bucks a night it can't be like
• 1:03:28
  250 dollars a night that's what these these people
• 1:03:30
  are still requesting like 200 something like
• 1:03:34
  no at that price i'll go stay at the local hilton
• 1:03:37
  like right yeah no yeah i'm a mariette bonvoy
• 1:03:41
  member That's what I'll do. Yeah, see ya. No,
• 1:03:45
  dude. So anyway, I think this is a good thing
• 1:03:48
  Look the way the way the hotel industry now They
• 1:03:52
  have to disclose right if you if there's like
• 1:03:54
  pool fees or whatever They have to disclose up
• 1:03:57
  front before you book right? Like it's there's
• 1:03:59
  laws around that I do think you should have to
• 1:04:01
  put your dirty dishes in the sink I feel like
• 1:04:03
  that's basic I do I do that. There's hotels that
• 1:04:08
  have a suite with a kitchen a kitchenette and
• 1:04:10
  stuff I don't leave my, you know, if I'm in that
• 1:04:13
  situation, I don't leave glasses all over the
• 1:04:15
  place. Oh, me either, just because I'm not gross.
• 1:04:17
  Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's because I'm not, I don't
• 1:04:20
  live that way and I'm not going to do that when
• 1:04:22
  I'm out. It's about being civilized. Not my home.
• 1:04:27
  Like, I don't care if it's my home or not. It's
• 1:04:28
  just, that's gross. I don't want to, like, skip
• 1:04:31
  over 30 dishes on the floor. I don't want them
• 1:04:32
  to come in and think that it's like, I don't
• 1:04:34
  want them to walk in and think that like, hey,
• 1:04:36
  look, Motley Crue is on tour here in 1986. Yeah.
• 1:04:40
  No, it's not even that it's just like you're
• 1:04:42
  gross like if you're like leaving dirty dishes
• 1:04:45
  like in corners of the hotel room like yeah,
• 1:04:47
  how do you Live like yeah, you don't even want
• 1:04:49
  it. Yeah, you don't want to wake up to that,
• 1:04:51
  right? Like it's gross. No gross like you as
• 1:04:53
  soon as you're done You put the tray outside,
• 1:04:56
  right? Let the clearly come get it like or whatever
• 1:04:59
  But so I don't know what people I don't know
• 1:05:02
  how else people I'm sure there's really gross.
• 1:05:07
  I don't know. What do you Airbnb ears like guests
• 1:05:09
  or whatever? Oh, for sure. I've heard stories.
• 1:05:14
  Gross people. But if you can't account for that
• 1:05:18
  as a host and know that people are disgusting
• 1:05:23
  and they're going to do disgusting things in
• 1:05:26
  your house, then don't be an Airbnb host. Just
• 1:05:31
  don't. I mean, I think, look, the thing is, it's
• 1:05:33
  just not the same business that it used to be.
• 1:05:36
  And that's what it is. It's like now it's basically,
• 1:05:39
  look, the thing is, I've also heard complaints
• 1:05:42
  from from guests like like I remember staying
• 1:05:46
  at Airbnb in Florida one time and there was some
• 1:05:49
  sand on the floor and I knew that like some other
• 1:05:52
  hosts like oh if there's if like if they someone
• 1:05:56
  checked into their property and they found sand
• 1:05:59
  on the floor they'd freak out they'd be like
• 1:06:01
  totally careening or like someone would find
• 1:06:04
  like a hair like on the ground and it's like
• 1:06:07
  okay you're in someone's house there's gonna
• 1:06:10
  be a fucking hair and who gives a shit like i
• 1:06:13
  mean if i check into a hotel and there's a hair
• 1:06:15
  on the ground i don't care i mean like yeah so
• 1:06:20
  people they expect go ahead about the hair so
• 1:06:25
  like if it's your someone you know if it's your
• 1:06:29
  friend let's say you're over at my house and
• 1:06:31
  i and you know i like to cook ted But you always,
• 1:06:34
  you know, people comment, oh Manila, you have
• 1:06:36
  such nice hair, beautiful hair. They want to
• 1:06:38
  touch it and whatever. But the moment that beautiful
• 1:06:41
  hair comes off of my head and it falls into the
• 1:06:45
  soup. Why is that suddenly the most disgusting
• 1:06:49
  thing in the world? That is like, so that is
• 1:06:51
  sort of like, okay. So like five minutes ago,
• 1:06:54
  you were telling me you were admiring my hair
• 1:06:55
  and now one strand is in your food. It's the
• 1:06:58
  same hair, right? Right, so why were you admiring
• 1:07:02
  it five minutes ago? Now it's disgusting. Everything
• 1:07:05
  is context, right? It's sort of like if like
• 1:07:08
  like before you get to like I remember thinking
• 1:07:10
  about this like Toward the end of my marriage
• 1:07:13
  where it's like the last thing I wanted to do
• 1:07:15
  was like touch my wife, right? And then like
• 1:07:19
  but what it before I got with her all I could
• 1:07:21
  think about was touching my wife and it was like
• 1:07:24
  that's like it's sort of a it's sort of like
• 1:07:27
  context changes everything I read an interview
• 1:07:29
  with the a book uh with the author of a book
• 1:07:32
  about disgust and she I think it was a she was
• 1:07:36
  asked to define disgust like give me an example
• 1:07:39
  of what disgust is like how it works with the
• 1:07:42
  reptile brain so here's here's but here's an
• 1:07:46
  example okay so spit into a glass now drink it
• 1:07:52
  the thing is that spit was just in your mouth
• 1:07:54
  it was just in your mouth is yours it's not someone
• 1:07:58
  else's It's yours. Backwash. There's no logical
• 1:08:02
  reason for you not to drink it, but you won't
• 1:08:05
  because it's like you're wired not to, right?
• 1:08:07
  It's in your reptile brain. I know. It's the
• 1:08:11
  fact that it's no longer in your mouth. So I
• 1:08:14
  think that's how it is with the hair, right?
• 1:08:18
  And it's also like it's context, too. Like if
• 1:08:20
  I was staying at your house and it was your hair,
• 1:08:23
  that wouldn't be as bad finding it in my food.
• 1:08:26
  As an Airbnb. As if we're going to a restaurant
• 1:08:29
  and there's a random hair in my food. That's
• 1:08:33
  bad. But when we tie this back to the Airbnb,
• 1:08:38
  when you see random hair, like it's a house and
• 1:08:41
  it's a house being used as a hotel room, but
• 1:08:46
  it's still a home. It's still whatever. It's
• 1:08:48
  a place people occupy. Why are people careening
• 1:08:53
  over hair on the ground or you find it on, you
• 1:08:57
  know, on the mattress or something. Or like a
• 1:09:00
  stain, like let's say the sheet's not perfectly
• 1:09:02
  white, like there's this little stain or something.
• 1:09:06
  A stain is a stain. It doesn't necessarily...
• 1:09:08
  I mean, stains as we know just don't always come
• 1:09:11
  out in the wash, right? I mean, it doesn't mean
• 1:09:13
  it's not clean. It's clean. It just has a stain.
• 1:09:16
  It's a stain. It's just colored there. But anyway,
• 1:09:20
  that's... I just... I think it's a great thing
• 1:09:23
  that Airbnb is still like evolving. And I loved
• 1:09:26
  their whole, the whole idea behind it was, was
• 1:09:31
  one you get to meet new people, right? That because
• 1:09:33
  the original idea of Airbnb was rent a room while
• 1:09:36
  the family is still living there, right? Like
• 1:09:37
  you're basically an exchange student, kind of.
• 1:09:40
  But it's like one step up over staying at a hostel,
• 1:09:45
  right? Well, yeah, I mean, some of them are stunning.
• 1:09:48
  I mean, like if your host if your host is like
• 1:09:50
  a gay couple, it's better. It's better than a
• 1:09:54
  hotel. I mean, I stayed I stayed at a Airbnb
• 1:09:56
  in San Francisco. Gay couple. And like, holy
• 1:10:00
  shit, there was a bottle of red and a bottle
• 1:10:02
  of white waiting for me in the in the fridge.
• 1:10:05
  I was like, that's amazing. You guys. Yeah, that's
• 1:10:08
  that's the dream is like, go stay with with a
• 1:10:11
  gay dink. Oh, the best. Go crack go have those
• 1:10:16
  and also you can have some different you can
• 1:10:18
  have what like what I loved about here What I
• 1:10:20
  like about Airbnb is like first of all, it fills
• 1:10:23
  the gaps in places where that are underserved
• 1:10:25
  by hotels in rural areas There's a lot of places
• 1:10:28
  that just don't have any hotel and also you can
• 1:10:31
  stay someplace beautiful like on a lake or Something
• 1:10:34
  that like you might not otherwise have access
• 1:10:36
  to in the way up high in the mountains Last year,
• 1:10:41
  were you in an Airbnb? Yeah. Yeah Yeah, although
• 1:10:47
  that was also that was a that was a permanent
• 1:10:50
  Airbnb like rental property. Oh, somebody's rental.
• 1:10:53
  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Life's a beach. So there you
• 1:10:57
  go. Signage everywhere. Love laugh, Ted. I'm
• 1:11:03
  fascinated by those like those stupid signs.
• 1:11:08
  Like, you know, it's like it's like basically
• 1:11:10
  like those stupid signs are like They're like
• 1:11:13
  looks like living inside a political cartoon
• 1:11:15
  where everything is labeled like living room
• 1:11:19
  The pool like I know what the kitchen is tell
• 1:11:25
  from the one kitchen Husina right it's like in
• 1:11:29
  Italian. Oh cuz it's better than it's in Italian
• 1:11:32
  now Right. Thanks. You're you're classing it
• 1:11:37
  up. You put it in Italian And also the dumb statements,
• 1:11:44
  right? Like the inspiring term. Oh, but my personal
• 1:11:48
  favorite of all of that stupid shit is like the
• 1:11:51
  people who have the pretentious, they spell out
• 1:11:55
  the address of their home. So instead of like
• 1:11:59
  233, it says 233. And you're like, really? You
• 1:12:09
  can't use Arabic numbers? I know you're Islamophobic,
• 1:12:12
  but really? Oh, God. Really? I've not seen that.
• 1:12:16
  Oh, God, it's so... Yeah, no, it's a thing, for
• 1:12:19
  sure. And then my mom, shortly before my mom
• 1:12:22
  died, my mom pointed this following out. You
• 1:12:26
  know how the houses that have, like, the big
• 1:12:27
  star, usually a red star on it? Yes. I've seen
• 1:12:31
  that. What's up with the stars? And I joke I
• 1:12:34
  said it's the communist revolution is moving
• 1:12:36
  through the suburbs. I don't know. Why does everyone
• 1:12:40
  have the same red star? It's like that. It's
• 1:12:43
  like it's like aluminum. It's like an aluminum
• 1:12:45
  tin red star that people I don't know. It's I
• 1:12:50
  don't know. It's a thing. Everyone finds them
• 1:12:52
  at like those home goods stores and stuff like
• 1:12:55
  everywhere. Totally. And so I don't I don't know.
• 1:12:58
  I don't get I bet like Joanna Gaines and what's
• 1:13:03
  his name? Skip? Is that his name? Skip? Gaines?
• 1:13:08
  What's his name? I know the wife's name is Joanna,
• 1:13:10
  the Gaines's. Chip, Chip, Chip and Joanna Gaines,
• 1:13:15
  that's it. Chip and Joanna Gaines. I don't know
• 1:13:17
  if they used it in their design one time and
• 1:13:20
  everybody was like, oh my God, we gotta go out
• 1:13:22
  and get a red star, a tin star to put outside
• 1:13:25
  in our yard. But like, that's a thing. It's a
• 1:13:29
  thing. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Don't forget.
• 1:13:35
  Always stay humble and kind or be positive. Dream
• 1:13:41
  big. People put these up. Ted, people have them
• 1:13:48
  in their actual houses, not just Airbnb. I hate
• 1:13:51
  to break that to you. Home is where our story
• 1:13:54
  begins. So in the interest of not being positive
• 1:13:58
  vanilla, you're incredibly pixelated again. Don't
• 1:14:01
  know what's happening. I can't change the camera
• 1:14:04
  won't even The camera won't even change anything
• 1:14:07
  for me anymore. Oh, I see a chain. It became
• 1:14:10
  pixelated I don't know. I don't know what's happening.
• 1:14:12
  I need to try out the new camera I because I
• 1:14:14
  tried a couple of new cameras and and it the
• 1:14:18
  the software that you have the external camera
• 1:14:21
  Yeah, the software because I'm on a I'm on a
• 1:14:24
  I'm on a desktop not a not not a laptop Yeah,
• 1:14:28
  I'm on a desktop with an extra— because my computer's
• 1:14:31
  really old, so I have an extra camera on top.
• 1:14:35
  This computer's not old. Robbie, how old is this?
• 1:14:37
  Like three years old? Something like that? Two
• 1:14:40
  to three, something like that. Yeah, it's not
• 1:14:41
  old. You look like you're in an ISIS hostage
• 1:14:43
  video. It's true. The flames are going to come
• 1:14:47
  soon. I kind of am. I'm a hostage to like a six
• 1:14:50
  -month -old baby, hence the little bit of spit
• 1:14:52
  up right there. There's there's always gonna
• 1:14:55
  be a little spit up on my shoulder because there's
• 1:14:57
  there's a baby It's a pixelated no one could
• 1:15:00
  tell exactly. So maybe that's my camouflage But
• 1:15:05
  I I'm afraid I got a new camera. I'm gonna try
• 1:15:09
  it out Today you need to uninstall the software
• 1:15:13
  packages in there first Okay, then install the
• 1:15:17
  new one because otherwise it's just it's not
• 1:15:19
  gonna be it's using the old you think it's using
• 1:15:21
  the old one I guarantee it No, no, I haven't
• 1:15:24
  put in the new camera. I got a new camera. No,
• 1:15:27
  I understand that. But but before you install
• 1:15:28
  the new one, you have to uninstall the software
• 1:15:30
  for the old first. Yes. OK, good to know people
• 1:15:35
  don't uninstall things. They really should. Yeah,
• 1:15:39
  I know. I don't. I'm guilty of that. Like I just
• 1:15:42
  put in the new thing. Oh, and do you do the do
• 1:15:44
  you do the thing where you don't when you put
• 1:15:46
  your computer to sleep and you don't turn it
• 1:15:47
  off? Oh, I never turn mine off. Oh, that's bad.
• 1:15:51
  You know, that's a bad protocol. You're supposed
• 1:15:53
  to shut down your computer completely. Really?
• 1:15:56
  Really every night, but at least every few days.
• 1:15:57
  Well, no, it goes to sleep. And a big part of
• 1:15:59
  the reason is because... Keep everything open.
• 1:16:03
  Well, not so much that. It's because Vang is
• 1:16:06
  actually getting integrated into Pickaxe. And
• 1:16:08
  so Jeff, actually, I gave him remote access.
• 1:16:11
  So he's using her to make clips and shorts. So
• 1:16:14
  it has to be on your computer. Well, because
• 1:16:16
  yeah, because otherwise it would cost so much
• 1:16:18
  for cloud GPU. I couldn't afford to do it. So
• 1:16:22
  I built workers on my computers. So the job is
• 1:16:27
  queued up, ran by the cloud, but the actual work
• 1:16:30
  is done on my desktop and on my laptop. And if
• 1:16:33
  I turned them off, that wouldn't work. So then
• 1:16:35
  he wouldn't be able to do though. part of the
• 1:16:37
  thing. Oh, interesting. Other people are saying
• 1:16:41
  just restart. That's, and I keep getting these
• 1:16:44
  updates and I don't know what's updating what
• 1:16:46
  and then Chrome will say it needs to update and
• 1:16:49
  I'm almost starting to wonder, should I just,
• 1:16:54
  should I just start telling programs to not,
• 1:16:58
  not self -update on its own that I need to approve
• 1:17:02
  them? The updates are fine. It's just you have
• 1:17:04
  some kind of a wonky filter going on or you have
• 1:17:06
  your have your resolutions set to toilet bowl.
• 1:17:09
  It's one of the others. I don't know. It was
• 1:17:12
  fine. And then but again, I don't know this thing
• 1:17:15
  when I remember when I got the the new the first
• 1:17:19
  new camera like a month or two ago, once I put
• 1:17:22
  that one in and we decided it sucked and I put
• 1:17:25
  the old one back and the old one was better.
• 1:17:28
  But then it's been acting wonky. And now every
• 1:17:30
  it's like it's been mad at me. It's as if it's
• 1:17:33
  mad at me ever since like I tried to replace
• 1:17:36
  it. It might be It might be an ai type situation.
• 1:17:40
  It's coming. Yeah, it's sky netting you The ai
• 1:17:43
  is pissed at me and it's like how dare you try
• 1:17:46
  to replace me with a newer model and it's been
• 1:17:49
  I'll show you for the past like five or six weeks.
• 1:17:53
  You'll see i'm just saying yeah, so i'm gonna
• 1:17:55
  try out the new camera We're it's time to go,
• 1:17:59
  but I hope you guys found this to be an informative
• 1:18:02
  and fun show because always Russia, if not Ted
• 1:18:06
  Russia, Russia is going to do something to you.
• 1:18:09
  Yeah. I thought y 'all could bring me on to debug
• 1:18:11
  the whole virus thing, but y 'all just, no, I
• 1:18:14
  thought you were going to pop on. I was waiting
• 1:18:16
  for you to, because Robbie earth is how many
• 1:18:19
  thousands of years? It's a little over 6 ,000
• 1:18:21
  years old. So this virus doesn't exist. It's
• 1:18:26
  fake. It's all made up. Well, here's, here's
• 1:18:29
  what impressed me. Instead of doing research
• 1:18:32
  on this, how about you do something useful like
• 1:18:34
  cure cancer? That would show me that you have
• 1:18:39
  an idea about how genetics work and how it is
• 1:18:42
  - Well, by the way, did you see the article that
• 1:18:44
  I posted up? And I hope maybe it'll make it into
• 1:18:46
  Thursday's show about CRISPR being used to -
• 1:18:49
  Yeah, yeah. I had to pick one of the two science
• 1:18:51
  stories, so I picked this one first. In fact,
• 1:18:54
  the Japanese used CRISPR to fix retardation.
• 1:18:58
  It's huge. And that's the point that the Chinese
• 1:19:01
  use CRISPR to fix HIV. Yeah. I mean, that's the
• 1:19:04
  point that I'm making. Right. So and then that
• 1:19:06
  doctor's on the lamb now. Oh, I thought he was
• 1:19:10
  rehabilitated. Oh, I don't know. So I mean, the
• 1:19:14
  Swiss, you know, they're doing this. They're
• 1:19:15
  trying to go in time for their God and trying
• 1:19:17
  to make black holes in their centrifuge. What
• 1:19:21
  could possibly go wrong with that? Then? Yeah,
• 1:19:24
  I like how they said when they turned it on,
• 1:19:26
  there's a zero point zero zero zero zero three
• 1:19:29
  chance. that the world, the universe will end.
• 1:19:33
  And I'm like, and I'm like, okay, so granted
• 1:19:37
  those are very small odds, but that's a very
• 1:19:40
  big downside. Yeah. So we might ruin the entire
• 1:19:45
  universe, but I'm going to press this button
• 1:19:48
  anyway. I mean, the odds are pretty low. It should
• 1:19:51
  be all right. Yeah. Just do it. So it happens.
• 1:19:54
  Yeah. But I mean, seriously, I mean, if No, these
• 1:19:57
  scientists, if they want to do something really
• 1:19:59
  meaningful, do something that's meaningful, cure
• 1:20:02
  cancer, maybe do something about birth defects.
• 1:20:07
  Don't go and whip up this idea about a primordial
• 1:20:11
  virus that affected chimpanzees millions of years
• 1:20:15
  ago, which is a complete scam and a joke. It's
• 1:20:21
  a lie. Well, see, that's what I was expecting
• 1:20:24
  you to jump in. I don't just know you never you
• 1:20:30
  don't ever wait for an invitation since whenever
• 1:20:32
  you needed my invite. It's like pop in. You didn't
• 1:20:37
  pop in today. I was like, oh, maybe Robbie's
• 1:20:39
  tired. Well, I haven't been to bed yet. Oh, my
• 1:20:43
  God, Robbie, go to sleep. All right. With that,
• 1:20:45
  I got to test this camera. Yes, I went in for
• 1:20:49
  a physical. He's like, so how many of us, Mr.
• 1:20:51
  West, how many hours do you sleep at night? Sleep
• 1:20:55
  like. Maybe two, two and a half is a, it's kind
• 1:21:00
  of laugh. I'm like, no, I'm serious. He's like,
• 1:21:04
  you're serious. I said, yeah. He said, you realize
• 1:21:06
  you're going to, this is going to kill you as
• 1:21:08
  we all do. Yeah, but you should listen to him.
• 1:21:12
  Cause you know, he has a medical degree, a degree
• 1:21:15
  and he's right. No, well, here's the thing. No,
• 1:21:18
  the mom, there's also have degrees. So where
• 1:21:19
  do you put them? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're all
• 1:21:24
  the point it wants to die and our numbers are
• 1:21:25
  the days where your of our lives are fixed Nothing
• 1:21:28
  you could that that you could yeah, but you couldn't
• 1:21:30
  you can do things to to stave off the inevitable
• 1:21:33
  a little bit, you know Don't try to hasten it
• 1:21:37
  then Robbie. How about that? Like right now I'm
• 1:21:42
  building a new game quit hastening with that.
• 1:21:47
  I'm gonna hasten our goodbye Robbie yeah, bye
• 1:21:57
  bye
